HCSS Ticket Writer: Log trucks 2020.1.0

The transition from traditional paper truck tickets to a digital platform marks a significant advancement in material hauling operations. The HCSS Trucking solution offers precise tracking of deliveries on job sites, detailing who delivered materials, when they arrived, and the quantities involved. This comprehensive system monitors both owned and brokered trucks, covering locations, operational hours, loads, and quantities delivered.

As Phillippe Faulkner from Ed Bell Construction explains, “We’re solving problems now we didn’t even really know were the problems to start with about cycle times... It’s providing an immense amount of information daily that we’re able to make changes off of.”

Key features of the HCSS Trucking solution include:

• Rapid Truck Registration: Trucks can be registered in under one minute for future reference directly on job sites. Essential details such as license plate numbers, DOT numbers, truck photos, and driver contact information are captured efficiently.
• Streamlined Work Authorization: Trucks are checked in automatically via a registered beacon provided at no cost. With a simple tap, crews can authorize trucks to start work each day.
• Efficient Load Logging: Load and dump events can be recorded swiftly with a few taps, including entering quantities and sending confirmations to drivers through text messages.
• End-of-Day Check-Out: The system generates accurate timestamps for starting and ending work for each truck, along with summaries sent directly to drivers.
• Seamless Data Sharing: All data synchronizes with a web manager system, facilitating immediate analysis of production and accurate payments to brokers without the need for reconciling paper records.

Brian Cooper from Earle Asphalt Company reflects on the benefit of data-driven decisions: “I cut another check to that vendor. Maybe they’re right, maybe they’re wrong, but I don’t have the data...so it’s easier just to pay the guy. ... With Ticket Writer, we’ve been able to reduce our issue rate to less than 5%.”

This digital shift empowers companies to take control of their operations while enhancing accuracy and efficiency in material management.
